I remember people feeding there frogs Savannah Monitors, Ball Pythons and Leopard Geckos on another site that I use to inhabit. Now that was something that was uncalled for in my eyes.

I don't care if you feed your frogs Savannah Monitors, Ball Pythons and Leopard Geckos, I'm also not not on an "I love reptiles site showing it" or defending it which apparently would bother you. It might not bother you to see a frog killed like this but it does bother others and thier opinions also matter, especially on a FROG forum.

I've never once fed any of my frogs the animals that I mentioned. As I said, they were items that were fed by other members of another forum that I was once part of. And I believe 100% of it was done for shock factor. Which is pretty bad in my eyes. I was merely stating that I (myself) didn't take offense to the Pyxie eating the other frog as that appears to be pretty natural to me. I was also pointing out the fact that we were all blatantly warned about the feeding pics (complete with the feeders scientific name) prior to even looking at said pics.

I understand where you're coming from though, and respect it as well. Some people are a bit more sensitve to this type of thing then others.

No worries, thanks for responding back. I am one of those that is probably a little too sensitive and merely wanted my opinion out there with the rest. I know it happens and is natural, I just hope we don't see any more of it.

Im with Paul on this one. Not something enjoyed seeing and I feel in captivity this is not necessary, Now there is a warning up on the thread, its' up to the viewer. I wouldn't like to see this become a regular sighting on this forum though.

Cool beans Paul! I just want to make sure I didn't come off as a pompous **** heh. Such wasn't my intentions. I also don't want anyone to think that I was trying to generalize my opinion on such content like it was the entire forum. I was more or less just saying I wasn't offended by it.

But I can completely and totally understand where you're coming from! Some people just don't dig seeing that kind of stuff. And that is something to be respected. :-)

I didn't feel you came off that way at all. Just an opposing opinion but certainly not combative.

If I post i feed mice to my african bullfrog. I think there are people(rats lover) who say that I am cruel.....!
anyone can tell me what of the foods suitable for my frog?
Frog eat frog is normal in wild, No need to change them.
African bullfrog and human is carnivorous. don't forget it.
If you look at pictures, you feel uncomfortable, it is normal.
Unless you are a vegetarian, or you is this not killing animals to eat each day!
This is the food chain!
If you think my answer was not happy, I am sorry

Rats and mice are not good items to feed your frogs. They are ok occasionally, but not as a staple part of their diet. Also humans aren't carnivorous, we are omnivorous, meaning we eat both plant and animal matter.

We all know that frogs will eat other frogs, including members of their species, but most frog keepers are uneasy with this reality. It's kind of like feeding puppies to wolves. Most people would freak out over that. So hopefully you can understand the reaction your pictures generated. Despite this reaction John and I decided not to remove these pictures, as we believe there was no malice behind their posting.
